Genome-Wide Characterization of the Mutational Landscape of Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia.
Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a rare but highly aggressive variant of oral leukoplakia that almost inevitably progresses to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aims of this study were to perform whole exome sequencing of a cohort of patients diagnosed with PVL and identify potential mutational profiles and pathways in this disorder.
